07 April 2009

Bring your beat to the street with the new Sony Ericsson W205 Walkman™. The W205 makes the Walkman™ phone experience more accessible to consumers and is perfect for those who want all the classic Sony Ericsson mobile phone features while enjoying music on the go!

London – April 7, 2009 – Get the most out of your best music and favourite radio channels with Walkman™ player, FM radio and TrackID™ music recognition. The slider mobile phone comes with a complete package of entertainment features and the power to set up playlists to ensure you have the right music no matter the occasion. Share your tunes with friends via the speaker phone function – if you love your music they will too.

Need a change? Tune into the FM radio to listen to the latest news, music, sport commentary and talk shows. Heard something you like? Use TrackID™ to name that tune and artist, and you can even record a sample of a song from the radio to use as your new ringtone.

“The W205 is perfect for those who love portable music but have never had the Walkman™ phone experience.” said Timo Maassmann, Marketing business manager at Sony Ericsson. “The W205 is a stylish slider phone allowing you to enjoy your music wherever you are – whether it’s on the bus, at college or chilling in the park. You can also share more than music with the 1.3 megapixel camera. Capture the action in stills or video and send them to friends via MMS or via Bluetooth™. The multiple phonebook function is an added bonus - share your phone with your family but keep your contacts separate from theirs.”

tanda centang delivered di sent item sms, field kontak kompatible ama A200,

maksudnya apa ya?

Udah biasa N78 yah bro.. Jadi ga mudeng

Kayaknya sih kalo buka sub menu sent item, sms yang sudah terkirim otomatis terlihat dengan adanya tanda centang, ga harus buka lagi folder report sent items.. Terus field kontaknya satu nama bisa isi lebih dari 1 nomor + data2 email, alamat, info2 lainnya..

CMIIW loh..

iya, makanye aye kirain t303 n r300 tu asli se, karena ui-nya agak mirip g502 gw...
dibanding j230 n t250 yang pernah gw pake, t303 ma r300 waktu itu udah jauh lebih baik, untuk hape sekondari (telephone, sms, sesekali organizer) ...dan kalo ternyata arima, berarti masih lebih baik daripada lowend asli SE (dalam hal ini ada peningkatan dari J230/t250). Entah kalo sagem..belum pernah nyoba satupun
sori oot...ngomongin tipe lain...

keknya gak beda jauh deh kalo menurut gw antara ui SE, arima, ato sagem...
kalo pun beda gak terlalu essensial lha...
selama masih bisa : sms, telpon, denger musik, pake kamera
secara, ini kan hape low end, paling fitur diatas yg ditonjolin...

@Sefer
Kalo mo internet-an lbh ribet, kata yg pada udah pake sih.. Cmiiw

@novazli
T250 arima juga, tp emang lbh basic dr t303.. J230 asli SE, tp UI nya emang standard, krn seri J.. Cmiiw jg

@tekim
Bisa jadi w205 tuh arima.. Lg2 cmiiw

yg saia tau,klo buatan SE browser pake NetFront,yg buatan Sagem pake OpenWave.ngga tau buatan Arima?CMIIW

ooo
UI nya...gw kira hapenya sendiri
mana ada SE palsu

maksud ane, yang manufactured-nya SE ma yang SAGEM or ARIMA gito boss..
bedanya apa?? apa cuma UI nya aja?or dari kinerja hapenya sendiri apa lebih lemot or gmana gitu...

@sefer
gw kirang ngikutin perkembangan arima sama sagem sih.
tapi kalo logikanya : kan cuma beda UI aja ---> software
tapi kalo kinerja ---> lebih dominan di hardware (ex: processor, RAM, ROM) walo software ikut menyumbang.
so, kinerja gak beda jauh lha (asal pihak luar gak ikut campur di masalah hardware)

sowry...dah lama gak pake SE...ni baru pake lagi type G502
jadi gitu ya...jadi gak masalah donk walaupun manu-nya SAGEM or ARIMA..
yang gw demen ama hape SE (non OS) bisa multitask untuk applikasinya....(dibanding sama hape LG,SAMSUNG,DLL)
berarti SAGEM or ARIMA bisa juga yah..??

maksudnya multitask antara program apa dengan apa?
kalo musik player dengan sms sih bisa, tapi aga sedikit lemot ---> pengalaman W380

Bukan cuma musric player aja bro.ane dah coba di G502,kalo lg maen game or buka browser opera mini.tinggal pencet tombol shortcut,masuk activy menu->masuk main menu,tgl plh mau ngapain deh,ketik sms or tlp.dgn kata lain aplikasi yg sdg "run" di minimize.hape non OS lain ky nya blum bisa ky gini deh,or dah ada juga?

@sefer
dah pernah coba di g502 nya?
jadi lemot gak?

W205 Promo Video :

Kalo liat promo videonya, walkman interfacenya seperti walkman V.3 ya?

Btw T303 ada shortcut activity menunya gak ya? Di w205 ini logo shortcutnya beda sama yang di T303.. jadi 'panah' seperti keluaran Sagem..

@tekimania
dah coba..gak terlalu lemot sih...masih dalam tahap wajar...(menurut ane----masih lemot-an kalo minimize musric bro..)

@hwars
kayaknya mang ganti icon deh...dari yang kotak2 jadi tanda panah...tapi fungsinya masih sama---sbg shortcuts----its seems

Kalo buatan Sagem kan kepala 3 semua.
Kalo Arima kayaknya buat yg lowend banget ya, 1 juta ke bawah.
